VanagoNUTS, Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes. It was in the 1990 Vanagon Carat belonging to SWATO & LIMBO member from Phoenix, Jim Harvey. The standard Optima battery fits in the normal battery position in a Vanagon. You just lay it on its side and the battery posts face toward the front of the van. No need for any work on connectors or cables, the posts are already in the correct orientation with the positive post nearest the center of the van and the ground post on the passenger side. The clamp that usuall holds the battery down, acts now to hold the battery back under the lip at the back of the battery box. Next time I need a battery, I'm definitely getting one of these.
